Spa-ing in Strasbourg......

So the move started and in the last minute we were succesful in getting a great new place in Grand Lancy/Carouge on July 31st for August 1st (seperate post to come)....with that down what better thing to do then go on a little break from moving than to Alsace. August 1st was National Day in CH so we had the day off. After a night before of Ikea/Pfister shopping extraveganza it was off in the AM to FR. On the way to Strasbourg we stopped in Colmar for lunch. Colmar is a nice little town just outside Strasbourg. It was raining, but we enjoyed the Flambees at a street cafe. We were not staying in Strasbourg exactly but in a small area 50 north near La Petite Pierre.

Upon arrival we found a very cool hotel/spa in the forest.

After about 30 minutes sorting our stuff in the room it was off to the spa for a nice massage. That night we enjoyed a nice Organic/Bio dinner at the hotel and just chilled.

The next day the weather turned much nicer and it was off to Strasbourg.

We spent most the day exploring, shopping, and eating...overall Strasbourg is a very nice city and I would reccomend it to anyone. It is a very nice mix of old and new...and stunning as you can see. That afternoon we headed back to the hotel...but on the way enjoyed the countryside.

Sunday we had a nice breakfast, went to the spa, and then it was back to CH! A great weekend again and nice feeling to chill after stressing about a place to live for the past 3 months!
